Just two installments after Daniel Craig became James Bond with Casino Royale, the franchise has already managed to more than double its opening weekend numbers with an astounding $87.8 million start for Skyfall. This is easily the biggest Bond debut to date, leaving Quantum of Solace‘s $67.5 million in the dust and bringing the Skyfall’s worldwide total to over $500 million. It is also the fourth biggest debut of the year, although with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 out next weekend, it could easily slip to fifth. Meanwhile Wreck-It Ralph and Flight dropped to #2 and #3 respectively, followed by Argo and Taken 2. (That’s right, Taken 2 is still in the top 5.) In limited release, Lincoln opened to a very strong per-screen average of $81,818. Will it maintain that momentum when it opens wide on Friday?
